Many Scientists Using Performance Enhancing Drugs

docinthemachine is one of several readers to send word of a new poll published in Nature showing unprecedented levels of cognitive performance-enhancing drug abuse by top academic scientists. The poll, conducted among subscribers to Nature, surveyed 1,400 scientists from 60 nations (70% from the US). 20% reported using performance-enhancing drugs. Among the drug-using population, 62% used Ritalin, 44% used Provigil, and 15% used beta-blockers like Inderal. Frequency of use was evenly divided among those who used drugs daily, weekly, monthly, and once a year. All such use without a prescription is illegal.

And come correct. Don't come with a bunch of meaningless, BS quotes from some anti-drug source. Come with facts and hard evidence to disprove what I say, or don't come at all. I offer a translation:
And come agreeing with me. I make guesses about the effect of legalizing heroin that fly in the face of history, so if you find facts and hard evidence to disprove what I say, then expect me to call your sources names.
